Chapter XLII: Appendix: III (2)
By applying this principle AD = 7745.9 ... and DC = 11019.9 ..., and the whole AC = 18765.8; whereas AB + BC (_i.e._ the coasting voyage) = 19200 stades (a difference of 434.2 stades, not 500). Add to this the 3000 from the Peloponnese to the Straits, the total coast voyage is 22,200 stades, as against Dicaearchus’s 10,000.
[223] Strabo quotes this reckoning of the distance from the Peloponnese to the head of the Adriatic to prove that Polybius, on his own showing, is wrong in admitting that this distance (8250 stades) is greater than that from the Peloponnese to the Pillars, which Dicaearchus said was 10,000 stades, and which Polybius showed to be 18,765 stades by the shortest route.
[224] To enable the reader to follow this list of prices, a short table is here sub-joined of Greek weights and money,—though he must be warned that values varied at different times and places,—with approximate values in English weights and money.
1 obol = 1/40 oz. = 1/8 shilling.
6 obols = 1 drachma = 3/20 oz. 9d.
100 drachmae = 1 mina = 15-1/2 oz. £3 : 18 : 6.
60 minae = 1 talent = 57 lbs. £235.
A medimnus = 11 gals. 4 pts. (dry measure).
A metreta = 8 gals. 5 pts. (liquid measure).
[225] Which member of the Cornelian gens this was is unknown. He appears to have been at Marseilles in the 4th century B.C. inquiring as to centres of trade open to Rome in rivalry with Carthage.
[226] Varro (_Serv. ad Æn._ 10, 13) adds a fifth by the Graian Alps, _i.e._ Little St. Bernard.
[227] Strabo corrects this, saving that the distance is 3000 stades.
[228] The islands were called also _Vulcaniae_ and _Aeoliae_.
[229] Strabo reckons 8 stades to a mile, thus making the number of stades 4280. The exact calculation by Polybius’s reckoning is 4458-1/3 stades. The miles are Roman miles of 5000 feet; therefore, by Strabo’s calculation, the stade is 625 feet, by Polybius’s 600 feet.
[230] Strabo, however, supports the measurement of Artemidorus—6500, explaining that Polybius is taking some practical measurement of a voyage, not the shortest.
[231] Homer, _Odyss._ 4, 485.
[232] Probably in February, the month usually devoted by the Senate to _legationes_.
[233] Since B.C. 195 up to B.C. 154 the two divisions of Spain had been entrusted to Praetors.
[234] Livy, _Ep._ 48. _Provocatorem barbarum tribunus militum occidit._
[235] τῶν ἐκ συγκλήτου καὶ τῆς γερουσίας. The same distinction occurs in 10, 18, and seems to refer to the two bodies known as the Hundred and the Gerusia. See Bosworth Smith’s _Carthage and the Carthaginians_, p. 27.
[236] The envoys first report to the Gerusia. Appian, _Pun._ 91.
[237] Phameas was afterwards persuaded by Massanissa to join the Romans. Livy, _Ep._ 50.
[238] The incident referred to is narrated in Appian, _Punica_, 103. Scipio relieved this body of men, who were beleaguered on the top of a hill, by a rapid and bold movement of his cavalry.
[239] _Odyssey_, 20, 495. Cato had always been opposed to the Scipios, but Livy seems to attribute his former criticisms of the younger Africanus to his general habit of caustic disparagement (_vir promptioris ad vituperandum linguae_), and we know that his elder son had married a daughter of Paulus, sister to the younger Africanus.
[240] Livy, _Ep._ 49.
[241] He seems to have forgotten his namesake mentioned in 11, 15.
[242] For Callicrates, the author of the Romanising policy, see 26, 1-3. One of the statues raised to him by the Spartan exiles was at Olympia, the base of which has been discovered. See Hicks’s _Greek Inscriptions_, p. 330. To what the fragment refers is not clear, but evidently to something connected with the popular movement against Sparta, and a recurrence to the policy of Philopoemen as represented by Lycortas, which eventually brought down the vengeance of Rome.
[243] Prusias was killed at Pergamum by his son Nicomedes with the connivance of Attalus (Livy, _Ep._ 50).
[244] A considerable passage is here lost, with the exception of a few words, insufficient to ground a conjectural translation upon.
[245] Demetrius II., son of Antigonus Gonatas.
[246] Pseudophilippus, after cutting to pieces a Roman legion under the praetor Juventius, was conquered and captured by Q. Caecilius Metellus in B.C. 148 (Livy, _Ep._ 50; Eutrop. 4, 6).
[247] Massanissa, feeling himself to be dying, had asked Scipio to come to him. He left his sons strict injunctions to submit the arrangements of the succession and division of his kingdom to Scipio. Appian, _Punica_, 105; Livy, _Ep._ 50. Livy has adopted the statement of Polybius as to the age of Massanissa at his death; and Cicero (_de Sen._ § 34) has made Cato take the same reckoning, perhaps from Polybius also. But it does not agree with another statement of Livy himself, who (24, 49) speaks of him as being seventeen in B.C. 213, in which case he would be in his eighty-second year in B.C. 148. It is, however, proposed to read xxvii. for xvii. in this passage of Livy.
[248] Livy (_Ep._ 48) in speaking of this victory says that Massanissa was ninety-two, and ate and enjoyed his bread without anything to flavour it (_sine pulpamine_).
[249] The task of subduing the country in B.C. 147 was entrusted to the proconsul Culpurnius Piso, while Scipio was engaged in completing the investment of Carthage. Appian, _Pun._ 113-126.
[250] After the capture of Megara, the suburban district of Carthage, by Scipio, Hasdrubal withdrew into the Byrsa, got made commander-in-chief, and bringing all Roman prisoners to the battlements, put them to death with the most ghastly tortures. Appian, _Pun._ 118.
[251] τὰ χώματα, that is, apparently, the mole of huge stones constructed by the Romans to block up the mouth of the harbour.
[252] μετὰ τῶν ἰδίων ἐνδυμάτων. The German translator Kraz gives up these words in despair. Kampe translated them _in ihrer gewöhnlicher Tracht_. Mr. Strachan-Davidson says, “προσειληφυῖα, etc., ‘folding them in her own robe with her hands,’” which seems straining the meaning of προσειληφυῖα. The French translator says, _deux enfans suspendus à ses vêtemens_.
[253] According to Livy (_Ep._ 51) she had tried to induce her husband to accept the offer described in 38, 2.
[254] Homer, _Il._ 6, 448.
[255] 4000 under Alcamenes, Pausan. 7, 15, 8.
[256] In the battle with Metellus at Scarphea.
[257] Pausanias on the contrary says that Pytheas was caught in Boeotia and condemned by Metellus (7, 15, 10).
[258] The pit is the place dug out (σκάμμα) and prepared in the gymnasium for leapers. To be in the pit is to be on the very ground of the struggle, without possibility of escaping it.
[259] See note on 30, 17.
[260] For this proverb see Plutarch, _Themist._ 29; _de Alex. Virt._ 5; _de Exil._ 7.
[261] Plutarch reports the same anecdote much more briefly in _Cato Maj._ 12, as do others. Professor Freeman (_History of Federal Government_, p. 142) seems to regard it as a serious indication that the Amphictyonic council had become a body exercising some literary authority, in default of any other. I think that Cato had no such meaning. He mentioned any body of men, however unlikely to exercise such an influence, which at any rate was Greek.
[262] Seems to mean “he lost before he began,” before he got even at the threshold of his enterprise. There is nothing to show to what the fragment refers.
[263] The base of a statue of Polybius has been discovered at Olympia with the inscription ἡ πόλις ἡ τῶν Ἡλείων Πολύβιον Δυκόρτα Μεγαλοπολείτην. But the statue mentioned in the text seems to be one set up by the Achaeans. For the statues of Polybius, see Introduction, pp. xxxi. xxxii.
[264] Thebae quoque et Chalcis, quae auxilio fuerant, dirutae. Ipse L. Mummius abstinentissimum virum egit; nec quidquam ex iis opibus ornamentisque, quae praedives Corinthus habuit, in domum ejus pervenit. Livy, _Ep._ 52.
[265] Ptolemy Philometor, king of Egypt, is called, by way of distinction, “King of Syria,” because that title was bestowed on him by the people of Antioch during his last expedition in Syria. This was undertaken in support of Alexander Balas, who repaid him by conniving at an attempt upon his life. Whereupon Ptolemy joined Demetrius, the son of Demetrius Soter, and supported his claim against Alexander Balas. Joseph. _Ant._ 13, 3; 1 Maccabees 11, 1-13.
[266] Dionysius Hal. (1, 74) quotes this statement of Polybius with the remark that it is founded on a single tablet in the custody of the Pontifices. Various calculations as to the date were:—
Eratosthenes }
followed by}
Apollodorus }
Nepos } Olymp. 7, 1 B.C. 752.
Dionysius }
Lutatius }
Q. Fabius Pictor Olymp. 8, 1 B.C. 748.
Timaeus 38th year before Olymp. 1 B.C. 813.
L. Cincius Alimantus Olymp. 12, 4 B.C. 729.
M. Porcius Cato 432 years after the Trojan war. B.C. 752.
Varro }
Velleius Paterculus } Olymp. 6, 2 B.C. 755.
Pomponius Atticus Olymp. 6, 3 B.C. 754.
But even granting a definite act of foundation (on which see Mommsen, _H. of R._ vol. i. p. 4), the Olympic register before 672 B.C. is a very uncertain foundation on which to build. See _Journal of Hellenic Studies_, vol. ii. p. 164 _sq._
[267] From Eusebius. It may be noted that this statement of Polybius is an earlier evidence than any other for the existence of an Olympian register prior to B.C. 600. Pausanias also dates the register from the year of Coroebus’s victory (5, 8, 6).
[268] I have translated this passage as it stands in the various editions of Polybius. But I feel convinced that none of it belongs to him except the first sentence. It comes from Athenaeus, 440 _E_.
[269] See Livy, i, 34. Dionys. Halic. 3, 46.
[270] Hesiod, _Works and Days_, 40, νήπιοι· οὐδὲ ἴσασιν ὅσῳ πλέον ἥμισυ παντός.
[271] Polybius is perhaps referring to the Acrocorinthus especially. But we must remember that many of the citadels in the third century B.C. were in the hands of Macedonian garrisons.
[272] This has been referred by some to the account of Scipio Aemilianus’s single combat with the Spaniard. See 35, 5.
[273] Perhaps L. Postumius, Livy, 23, 24 (Hultsch).
[274] B.C. 272. Plutarch, _Pyrrh._ 31-34.
[275] See Pausan. i. 9, 6. His disaster compelled him to give up his dominions beyond the Danube. Another and more successful war in Thrace seems referred to in Diod. Sic. 18, 14.
[276] Livy, however, records more than one success of Marcellus against Hannibal, see 23, 16, 46; 27, 14. Scipio’s victory of course is at Zama.
[277] From Zosimus, 5, 20, 7. See 1, 26.
[278] Some refer this to a circumstance narrated in Livy, 41, 2. But Hultsch points out that Livy is not using Polybius in that period.
[279] From _Constantine Prophyrogenneta de thematis, p. 18, ed. Bonnensis (Hultsch). He says that there are two Cappadocias, great and little. Great Cappadocia extending from Caesarea (Neo-Caesarea), and Mount Taurus to the Pontus, bounded on the south-west by the Halys and on the east by Melitene.
[280] See 6, 23. The excellence of Spanish steel has never perhaps been surpassed even to our day.
[281] See 35, 2-4.
[282] Plutarch, _Pelop._ 17, who says that other authorities reckoned it at 500 and 700 men. There were originally six morae in the Spartan army. See Xenophon, _Rep. Lac._ 11, 4; _Hell._ 6, 4, 12-17.
[283] See 6, 25.
[284] This is referred by Nissen to the account of the origin of the third Punic war. See 36, 3-5.
[285] This moderation in the number of slaves was perhaps imitated from Cato. See Cato, _Orationum frgm._ 3 Ed. Jordan.
